Soft southern shandy drinkers…. Camping Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February 2025

[The Other PaulG]

Are we all starter’ing or following Paul’s suggestion of just having mains?

The weight of opinion so far is starters too. All good.

 

[The Other PaulG]

But is it Suthern Shandy?, i'm not drinking nowt unless it's Nuthern Shandy

Nurthern shandy is half a Timothy Taylors Landlord and half a Theakstons Old Peculier - it's the go-to choice for the designated driver.

 

[The Other PaulG]

OK here's where we stand.

Please correct me if I have got anything wrong. I have combined food choices as well as the breakfast / braai items so we have one definitive list to avoid cock ups. I will add to this as responses come in. Please could someone bring firewood?

 

[crumbles]

Crumbles would like..
Tempura Prawns..
Chicken Kiev..

I shall bring 2 cases of Doombar aswell....
I think i have one of those gas cannister type gas rings aswell..

Odd Job, formerly of this Parish, would be proud!

Garlic mushrooms to start and Steak (Medium) for mains for me please

If I come on the bike I may be a bit short on space for victuals but there is a large Sainsbury’s just up the road so happy to wander up there Saturday to get supplies. Also happy to split bills any way that folk are happy with.

As for drinks - given we’re all Southern Softies I would recommend we start with Babyshams all round

Sitting down around a table for a meal in a pub sounds far too organised and civilised, what day is the slouched on a wobbly campchair scoffing warmed-up Stagg chilli straight from the tin next to a campfire drinking copious amounts of dubious home-made liquor of unkown origin from a bottle with no label on it before retiring to the safety of a Hippo bag/sleepmat under a tarp stretched out over your bike. Is that the Saturday night?

 

[JonnyBravo]

Very kind of you to organise.
(There will be the two of us camping)
We are coming in the truck now to carry more warm gear, beer and wine !

Menu
- it’s just 1x tempura prawns starter needed with a chicken Kiev main and a cod filet main.

Many thanks and looking forward to it.

All tarps and stretched stuff, should be submitted to our resident Tarpologist, who may or may not give the nod of approval

Thanks for the latest. I'm going to be out of the country for a week so can't update the pub on the additional diner until my return. However I'll do that, plus any other amendments, then we need to close the book because they're sick of me calling them to make changes!

Don, Waps, watcha eating?

 

[Wapping]

Pate and cod, please, waiter.

I’ll see if we have any scrap pallets at work I can cut up and bring for firewood.

 

[crumbles]

[crumbles]

I might aswell bring the lighting sticks & some proper coal....not the shite they sell now..!!!

I have ample supplies of wood,I just need too get it home & shove it through the wood splitter....

Ten minutes with my own elderly mother who has dementia is all I can bear.
